I use an Allaerts MC1b on my original carbon Model 2; I am very happy with this and have other things to spend my money on (such as my wife's Steinway!).
The rest of my system is Platine Verdier, GT Audio Battery PSU for the PV, Tron Meteor tube pre (predecessor of new Tron Syren), Quad IIs and Avantgarde Duos.
